Apex Download Error

★★★ Novice

Whenever I try to download Apex Legends I get an error message that reads "Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (2147942750)" Anyone know any fixes?

I did the instructions here and it worked
http://bit.ly/OriginVCError

Note: I had 3 versions, when I tried to do the 2015 one it said it could not continue and to remove the older versions. I did not do anything and the game now works.

i'll wait for the next patch and see what happens, so far the last two patches caused the same issue.

@zingyzucchini  I moved your post over to this one. Does this fix it for you? There's some other steps on the first page of this post too.

 think you need to open the earliest one you have (they are categorized by years).

For me this works : closing/stopping the processus of the windows installer from the task manager. It was stuck in the background installing nothing butr preventing other things to be installed !
Let met know if this works for you too :D

Hey @imnotbadnu,

 

Afraid we wouldn't be able to add people for support via Discord, however if you're having trouble downloading Battlefield 2042 please feel free to create a thread over on the Battlefield 2042 boards.

 

This thread is on the Apex boards and is quite old, so I'll be locking it here to prevent additional necro-posting, thanks!
